They were admitted to Elminoufiya University Hospital and Damanhour Medical National Institute.The diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome depends on clinical examination and measurement of compartment pressure, which is preferred to be by continuous monitoring for at least the first (12 hours Adequate fasciotomy within reasonable time first 12 hours) by single or double incision is the treatment of choice of this syndrome however the rate of re-operation still high and the complication is warranted The management of an associated fracture is the operative stabilization, external fixation (at the time of fasciotomy) is recommended allowed ready access to the soft tissues, early diagnosis of infection and follow up of the sensory and motor deficit.
